I really think what Morgellons is will ultimately be connected to GMO's but here is something that was discovered at one of those horrible sites:

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease
Progressive neuropathic (peroneal) muscular atrophy; Hereditary peroneal nerve dysfunction; Neuropathy - peroneal (hereditary); Hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy
Last reviewed: August 4, 2011.
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is a group of disorders passed down through families that affect the nerves outside the brain and spine. These are called the peripheral nerves.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Charcot-Marie-Tooth is one of the most common nerve-related disorders passed down through families (inherited). Problems in at least 40 genes cause different forms of this disease.
The disease leads to damage or destruction to the covering (myelin sheath) around nerve fibers.
Symptoms
Nerves that stimulate movement (called the motor nerves) are most severely affected. The nerves in the legs are affected first and most severely.
Symptoms usually begin between mid-childhood and early adulthood. They may include:
•
Foot deformity (very high arch to feet)
•
Foot drop (inability to hold foot horizontal)
•
Loss of lower leg muscle, which leads to skinny calves
•
Numbness in the foot or leg
•
"Slapping" gait (feet hit the floor hard when walking)
•
Weakness of the hips, legs, or feet
Later, similar symptoms may appear in the arms and hands, which may include a claw-like hand.
Signs and tests
